There's no stopping Janiah Barker unless you have a bug on your side.
The 6-foot-3 forward on Team USA's 3x3 under-18 squad had an unfortunate - and hilarious - run-in with a bumblebee in the middle of a game at the 3x3 World Championship in Debrecen, Hungary.
During Team USA's matchup against Slovenia on Tuesday, Barker discovered a bee flying past her while she was on the court. She tried to evade the little critter by dancing around erratically. She even went so far as to duck under a referee in an attempt to dodge the bug.
When all of her efforts failed to shake the bee off her trail, an exasperated Barker waved over to the sideline and subbed herself out of the game. Mikaylah Williams - a 16-year-old guard for Team USA - was bent over laughing as her teammate made a scene, and she couldn't stop her hysterics as she stepped to the line for a foul shot.
Despite the distraction, Barker, Williams, and Team USA maintained a comfortable lead throughout and beat Slovenia 21-7. And as of this article's publication, the US sits atop Pool B with 78 points and a 3-1 record in the tournament. They'll face Estonia in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
